iShares MSCI South Korea tracks the Korean market — Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix alone make up a large share of the fund, with Hyundai, Naver and Kia among the other big weights. It is the same market as the KOSPI and is highly sensitive to the memory-chip (DRAM/NAND) cycle, which makes it an early read on global semiconductor demand.
This is a US-listed exchange-traded fund, not the country's index itself. It trades in dollars during the US session — it moves in the same direction as the local index, but currency moves and the session offset keep the percentages from matching exactly.
